The formation of a strong identity is a complex process involving the harmonisation of cognitive, affective and conative aspects within the individual. This research aims to examine how the concept of ‘cipta, rasa, karsa, and self-control’ in Javanese philosophy can be a relevant framework in building a strong identity in the modern era. Through literature study and qualitative analysis, this research reveals that ‘cipta’ refers to the ability to think critically and creatively, ‘rasa’ is related to emotional intelligence and empathy, ‘karsa’ refers to the will and goal-oriented actions, and ‘self-control’ relates to the ability to regulate emotions, thoughts, and behaviour. These four aspects are interrelated and mutually reinforcing in forming the foundation of a strong identity. The results of the study show that the integration of creation, rasa, karsa, and self-control can equip individuals with high adaptability, strong resilience, and solid moral values. Individuals with a strong identity tend to have clear life goals, are able to make wise decisions, and are able to establish positive social relationships. This research also highlights the importance of cultural context in the formation of identity. The concept of ‘cipta, rasa, karsa, and self-control’ derived from Javanese philosophy can provide a unique and relevant perspective for Indonesian society. However, further adaptation and development is needed so that this concept can be effectively implemented in the context of modern life.

This research aims to elucidate the significance of restorative justice during the investigative phase and the legal assurance for investigators who apply restorative justice in cases of party noncompliance with the agreement. The author employs normative legal research, which involves the collection and analysis of legal documents pertinent to the subject at hand. This legal research employs the statute and case approaches. This writing employs primary and secondary legal materials. This article conducts prescriptive research. The findings of this research indicate that, initially, the concept of restorative justice during the investigative phase prioritizes substantive justice over procedural justice. We seek to establish substantive justice as the cornerstone of our rule of law, as it presents a promising opportunity for enhancing national well-being. The rule of law in Indonesia ought to foster the well-being of its citizens, and for this purpose, the notion of restorative justice, synonymous with substantive justice, is selected. Secondly, investigators lack legal clarity while implementing restorative justice if the participating parties violate the agreement. It may evolve into a complex issue when investigators seek to address broad criminal charges via restorative justice. The restorative justice concept is not acknowledged in general criminal offenses, although being governed by the Police Chief Regulation. Nonetheless, it is perceived that it still fails to offer legal certainty to investigators in the event of a future breach of contract or if the reported party defaults on their commitment or repeats their conduct.

Furthermore, environmental, social, and governance (ESG) considerations are increasingly shaping M&A strategies, reinforcing stakeholder trust and sustainable value creation. By adopting a holistic approach that integrates strategic foresight, managerial acumen, market awareness, technological innovation, and sustainability, firms can optimize M&A as a tool for growth and resilience in dynamic global markets.

The implementation of Islamic economics in the modern financial system is an effort to create an economic system that is fair, transparent, and sustainable, based on the principles taught in the Qur'an and Sunnah. The main principles of Islamic economics, such as the prohibition of riba (interest), fairness in transactions, zakat, the prohibition of gharar (uncertainty), and the balance in wealth distribution, provide a strong foundation for the formation of a more inclusive and social economic system. However, its implementation in the era of globalization faces various challenges, such as the lack of uniformity in Islamic legal standards across countries, differences in legal interpretations, and the integration of new technologies like fintech, blockchain, and cryptocurrency, which often conflict with Islamic principles. One solution that can be pursued is the development of Sharia-compliant digital financial products that adhere to the principles of fair and transparent transactions. On the other hand, Islamic financial institutions need to improve operational efficiency and strengthen the Sharia Supervisory Board (SSB) to ensure that financial products are in line with Sharia principles. Education and training in Islamic economics are also key to building a better understanding and accelerating the adoption of Islamic economic principles in the global financial system. Through close collaboration between Islamic financial institutions, regulators, and educational institutions, it is hoped that Islamic economics can provide a more ethical and sustainable alternative in the international market.
